P.S. Yesterday was the death anniversary of my cousin sister, Disha. She succumbed to depression and ended her life. Whenever I think about her, countless regrets and innumerable memories flood my mind. This poem was my free flowing thoughts on her death anniversary. You are deeply missed angel and you will live in my heart as long as I live.

So sad to hear about your loss... I know for a fact you often just need to talk a person to make them change their mind... (I have talked a man out of suicide once)... and I can so much understand your words.

I hear you, Purba. So sad to lose someone to suicide; and I think we always wonder if there is anything we might have done to change that suffering, to prevent the act that ended the life. I am sorry for your loss, Purba. It is hard when life hands us these kinds of blows.

No matter how much we love and care for someone, ultimately they make that final decision themselves. This a beautiful tribute to her and the love you had for her and it hurts so much that she is no longer here.

It was actually hard for me to find words...how deep you think about it. I wish there is always someone in everyone's life to support them and guide them so that they don't take this extreme step. Wonderful poem dear :-)

Her story saddens me as I, myself, have been in some state of depression before. It was not an easy time for me back then but with the help of friends & my family I wan able to get through the tough times. I feel sorry for her that she didn't realize how much she was loved & cared by the people around her. May she rest in peace now & forever. :)
